Explorables: Handmade Science

Use everyday materials to create models and other tools for exploring the world around us. Run by a dedicated team of volunteers, these drop-in workshops mix classic activities with open-ended investigations, encouraging participants to follow their hunches to aha! moments of scientific insight.

Far Out Corners is inspired by the Necker cube, a 3-D illusion created by a 2-D drawing of cubes that can be interpreted as concave or convex. Construct your own Far Out Corners using everyday materials and simple lighting.
